On May 26th at the Mobilizing NC conference in Raleigh, NC, Piedmont Biofuels was recognized for our outstanding achievements in expanding North Carolina’s use and awareness of alternative fuel. The 2010 MobileCare Fuel/Technology award was presented by NC Dept of Transportation Secretary Gene Conti. Piedmont was selected for this award for several reasons; namely, that Piedmont is the one of the state’s first biodiesel producer and distributor. In addition, Piedmont is the only BQ-9000 accredited producer in North Carolina and the first certified small producer in the U.S. The selection committee was also impressed by Piedmont’s biodiesel related education and outreach activities especially to low-income and minority farmers. The MobileCare team thanked Piedmont for being a pioneer in the area of transportation-related clean air and renewable energy initiatives.
